db has never had stranger anxiety (17mo) - could this be a symptom of autism? also cannot stay in a "circle time" environment, runs off screaming and distracted after 30 seconds. normal? I'm worried. tia Toddler - Nov 7th, 2005 8:18pm
My son has never had stranger anxiety and would leave with anyone with no problem. He's 2.5 and definitely not austistic. It really makes life easier - count your blessings! - Nov 7th, 2005 8:19pm
Sounds like he's easygoing with strangers, and a normal 17-mo-old in circle. That is way to young to stay seated for very long. - Nov 7th, 2005 8:19pm
Sounds like a normal kid to me, some are shy & some hate circle time... - Nov 7th, 2005 8:21pm
thank you - db always seems to be the wildest in the room but is so sweet, can't divulge my fears out loud
